Scope and content
A note from the Parochial Church Council (19 July 1940) suggested that "the needs of the Parish could be best met by a Vicar who is a worker and a man of tact.." The Revd Basil Wood (23 July 1940) found the church and parish delightful but the vicarage financially impossible, as it had no electricity and needed redecoration. Evidently the difficulty was overcome, and Woodd was soon presented to the living. In 1943 he obtained permission to borrow from Queen Anne's Bounty to pay for a new boiler.
